knew, that our boing unarmed exposed us to thereproach of hasarding our live recklessly,Ww niako all these admissions nml, yet, weJustify our rescue of Jerry. On what ground?Solely on th ground of doing unto others, m wehave others do unto us. Jerry wished toresencd. Were wo kidnapped, w sholild wish tobe rescued. Were our kidnapper kidnapped, theyWould wish to lie rescued. Wert) Marshal Allenkidnapped, his heart would go out forever towardthe Jerry the white Jerry, or the black Jerryshould deliver him. Marshal Fitch fired pis-jlngtols at the rescuers of Jerry. But had Iro liven InJerry's place, the kisses of his love would haveimprinted, and the teara of his grutituhe wouldhave wet, the cheeks of those rescuers. Who Isthere, in fine, that, were lie kidnapped, would notwish to be rescued ? No one. Thero is no onethen, who is competent to deny, that Jerry's w ishshould have been gratified.. But it is saiil, that thero was a taw against rescuing Jerry. We answer, that there was no lawis no law can be no law against the duty of doing unto others, as we would have others do untoi. We say this, not only beuauso the Cireat'Teacher and Lawgiver has couched this duty in acommandment s nor because the heart of universalhuman nature owns, that this "commandment isholy and just and good. Wo say it, moreover,because, in the nature of things, this duty must bethe reason and the soul of every law for tho regiijof tho mutual conduct of men. Is the"Statute Book in the face of this dutyt 80 far,tho Htatuto Hook is no law. Is the Constitu-'in the fact) of this duty? So far, then, theis no law,was no law against rescuing Jerry, be-cause there was no law for enslaving him. Whatvcr the forms of law, under which ho was held,they waro entirely wanting In the spirit anil sub-stance of law. The law to do unto others, as wcwould havo others do unto us, is a law to respect11 human rights. But all human rights arc clovendown by slavery. Kvory law must bo a law for theprotection of rights. A law for the destruction ofriirhts is a solecism nml an bIliimIiIvWo .aid, that there was no law for cnslavlmiJerry. That is not t taw for the human race, whichno human being can honestly enforce. To say, thatit is, is to Impeach the wisdom and purity of thoAuthor of all law. But thero lives not a humanbeing, who would reverence, or know, slavery aslaw were it to bo turned against himself, nml wereit lo demand a victim in himself. Thero lives nothuman being, who, were ho in slavery, wouldnot bo delivered oven though at the expense oftrampling on all tho Stutute Books and Constitutions in tho world. Hence, thero lives not a humanbeing, who can honestly rccogniio a lnw for enslaving any one : and, hence, there can be no lawfor enslaving any one.We go farther, and declare, that no person hasthe right to use as law, or know as law, even thnt,which is law provided, that, when it is applied tohimself, he rejects it as law. For instance, he whoresists the collection of a debt, which he owes, hasno right to collect a debt, or to claim, that there islaw for collecting it. Tho resistance, in the oneoase, makes him dishonest in asserting the claim inthe other t and, whether tho thing, which a' mnndoes, is, in itself, right or wrong, ho nevertheless,must not do it, if it can bo dono by him, only dishonestly. " Happy is ho, who eondemneth nothimself in that thing, which healloweth." So too,the man who Ictshis horse jump into hi neighbor'sHeld, is not to inquire into the law of tho case,when, in turn, his neighbors horse jumps into hisfield. His own lawlessness estops him from claiming, that there is any law in the case. Such reasoning, applied to slavery, justifies us in saying, thattho question, w bother slavery is good or bad, rightr wrong, Is entirely immaterial to our argument.Though It were possible, that its elements could be' all fiom Heaven, instead of being, as they arc, allfrom Hell, nevertheless, no sane man could be allowed to claim, that slavery is the subject of lawof sanctioning and sanctifying law for tho simplereason, that no sane man would consent to belave.We havo said, that the character of shivery is,no wiso, tnntoriul to our argument against tho possible legalisation of slavery. But we cannot forbear the incidontul remark, that it is hecauso everyman knows the character of slavery, that every' man shrink from becoming a slave. Kvory manknows slavery to bo a hell of horrors. Every manwould infinitely rather havo all hi children in thegrave than onu of them in that Hell.fa tho light of what his boon said, wo see whatunparalleled hypocrites are tho American people.The great mass of them are for slavery : and yet,not one of them would consont to bo a slave. Whathypocrites are thoir Divines, who preach or apolo-" gizo for slavory ! What hypocrite are theirChurches, that they do not cast theso goaMess Divinesout of the pulpit I What hypocrites are thoir legislatur, who legislate for slavery 1 What by poor iter are the tribunal that recognise the luwslavery I A few weeks ago, Judge McLean did,tho name of law, send bis innocent brother intoslavery. What if tho law-making' power in Ohioshould doom the Judge to slavery f would he not. sooner shod an ocean of blood than acknowledgetho legality of hi doom? He would: and thatho would stamp him with the most guilty andfrightful dishonosty. What a painful scene doesJleavon witness this week in Cauandaiguu!- Judge is there polluting and murdering hi soulby hi recognition of slavory a law. A MarshulI thero doing likewise. So are tho Governmentlawyer doing, who are thero. But not 10, we trust,are the Juror.Judge Hull affect respect for pro-slavery enactment ; and ho i willling to send men into slavery.But, though ten thousand Legislatures had pronounced bis son a slave, ho would sooner seewhole Court murdored than ice it succeed in sending that son into slavery.We spoke of the Juror. Happily, they neednot concern themselves with tho law of tho case.They can acquit all the defendants, on tho facthe case. The Government must fail to prove thatJerry was a slave. Slavery fit must be reniombered,does not consist in the involuntary service andwhipping, or in the other hardship and suffering. of it victim. Those aro but the incident of slavery. Iti oisenoo consist (olely in the assumedfsinversion of it victim into chattels. Butlegal fiction, that turn a man into a thing, iswar with every possibility of foot. This fictionthat " Slave shall be deemed, held, taken, reputed. and adjudged in law to be chattel personal," WasJerry a chattel personal ? a mere thing T Couldhe be! Can a man bo turned into a horse, ortone f Can Immortality be merchandise t. this i imrjowible. No legislation canimpossible facts. No legislation eon convert aInto a slave. Aa well talk of making a slaveQod Himself, a of tho being made in His own- age. A million witnetwe might testify, that Jorryr a (lave or, In other words, brute, a thing,fubject of traffic. But triumphant abovo alltestimony would lower the proud Uct, thaJerry m a man, and can l nothing clue than aman, either In time or eternity,We havo mid enough to justify our rescue ofJerry. We rescued him, because, aswe linvo mid,there was no law, and Could be no law, for cnslavcwould being him because there was no law and could beno law, for reducing a man from the gloriousheights, where his Maker placed him, to the leveli of brutes and things. We rescued him, as wewould have rescued any other Innocent brotherfrom the hands of any other pirntcs, without prtVurwho one moment to make the absurd Inquiry,j whether there Was a law for the piracy. Wc shouldhftvc beon monsters, instead of men-, had we notrescued him. To havrj stopped our ears, w hen this'poor brother cried; and to havo forborne to deliver' hiin, whon we saw him drawn unto death; would, have been to incur the frown of Heaven and thecontempt of earth. In a word, we rescued him,because we could net help it. All in vain, wouldit have been for us to try to dam up nur nut lire, atthat high flood time of its feelings. Those feelingsWould have their way. Thnt nature would be trueto itself.A distinction has been set up between rescuingaa fugitive slave from the hands of private cilir.ens,and rescuing him from the hands of official persons: Some thero arc, who justify tho the former, butcondemn tho latter. Tho distinction, is absurdand should never bo made: or, If made, It shouldbe made against tho official persons, Tho "milation chief framed by law," and executed by tho officersof law, Is the worst of all mischief, because appathen, rently clothed with the authority of law. No niision chief should be sa promptly rosistcd, as such misConstitution j chief: and no persons should be so promptly punThero ished, as they who attempt to legaliie it, and theywho officially undertako to enforce it. The abuse'of law-making and of other official powers is themost fearful wrong, that can befal tho people; andthe most effectual way for the people to invite the' perpetration of such wrong, is to give in to the false1 and impudent doctrine, that office shelters the a-base of office; and that crime, when committed byGovernment, is to be unresisted and unpunished,1 1.... ...... tii.,.t l.v r:..t.n.i.ii.,t. 1'.n. mnm.! !,cr of Congress, who voted for tho Fugitive SlaveaofinAaintheatis,aAl'Act, and the Prcsideut, who signed it, and theJudge, who administers it, should be punished fbrthis treachery to their trust, and this conspiracyagainst human rights. Were the public mind soundthey would bo punished. Or, rather, were the public mind sound, office would be conferred on a verydifferent class of men. Wo close, under this headwith the remark, that crime on tho part of Government is as much more to be dreaded and punishedthan crime on tho purt of the individual, as Government is more authoritative and influential thantho individual.There was a mob in Syracuse, October 1st, 1851,said the newspapers. It is true, that there was.But it was not what tho new spnpers represented.It was not tho rescuers of Jerry, who composed themob; but it was those, w ho fell upon that poor andhelpless, and inocent man. The President and theMember of Congress, referred to. wcro virtuallyaud prominently among those, w ho fell upon himwere virtually and prominently of the mob. Noother lender of that mob, unless it were DanielWebster, or snmo very distinguished clerical advo-cato of the Fugitive Slave Act, was so conspicuousand influential, as tbo President of tho UnitedStates. Yes, it w as the kidnappers of Jorry, whoconstituted the mob. They were the tramiilora onlaw. The law-abiding men were his rescuers.Jerry was rescued nut by a mob but from a mob.Fcllow-cititens! we aro nut ignorant, thnt weare reproached and hated. We are called infidels: and weeonfess, that if our deep belief, thattho current religion of this country is infidel,makes us infidels, thon are wo infidels. We confess, that we have not the most distant idea, thatthat is the religion of Jesus Christ, which doc notheartily espouse the cause of the slave. Wo arocalled tho enemies of luw: and wo confess, that,if to be the enemies of enactments, which contain not truth, nor justice, nor any other elementof luw, makes us the enemies of law, then aro wothe enemies of law. Wc are called anarchists anddespiscrs, of Government: and we confess, that, ifobedience to human Government requires us to disobey the Divine Government; and if "Honor theKing" is acummnndinent to dishonor tho King ofKings, then aro we anarchists and despiscrs ofGovernment.We repeat, fellow citizens, that we arc consciousof the odium that rests upon us. We feel, that weare wronged: but wo are not impatient for tho righting of our wrongs. . Wo bide our time. Tho menthat shall como after us, will do us justice Thepresent generation of America cannot "judge righteous judgment," in tho case of tho uncompromisingfriends of freedom, religion and law. They aro sodebauched and blinded by slavery, and by the per.verse and low ideas of freedom, religion and lawwhich it engenders, that they "call evil good andgood evil; put darkness for light and light for darkness; put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.They have been living out tho Ho of slavery so longand havo been, thereby, deadening their conscien-cos so long, a to be, now, w ell High incapable ofperceiving tho wido and everlasting distinctionbetween truth and falsehood.Wo are aware, too, fellow citizens, of the peril,in which wo are envolved by our position and pnrpose. We havo rescued ono fugitive slave. Womust rescue every other, that we can. We haveexhorted our fellow men to trample on the Fugigitive Slavo Act. We must continuo to exhortthem to do so. Wo cannot roccde. Vt o owe it toourselves, our children, our country , our Clod, togo forward. We cannot, for the sake of securingour property or liberty, or any of the intorost oftime, forget, that there is an etornity. Nor maywe count even our live dear to ourselves in thehigh and holy cause to which we havo oosocratedour all. We do not claim to havo risen above thefear of death. But wa remouibcr, and srtive to obeythe ooramandmont: "Fear not them, which kill thebody, but are not able to kill the soul: but ratherfear Him, who U ablo to destroy both soul and bo.dy in Hell."We havo, now, said all we wish to say, at thissecond celebration of the roscu of Jerry.

This much, however, we can now toll that,at every future celebration of tliia precious event'we shall continue to speak out our convictions honestly and fearlessly; and that we shall continue torepeat the celebration from year to year, until theimpudent and lying claim, that slavery can be lo.galizad, shall be abandoned in every part of ourguilty land."ARE YOU MOT GOING TO VOTE."ofiin.athis"What, not this timet" "You know we arcbettor than the Hunker parties."
